That's a blast from the past! They still work too

They will go even quicker than that with the right motor. Even though it appears a very simplistic car, the working rails can be made of the same size wire as the more modern chassis. Typically, if the main rails are of .055, and the wheelie bar upper rail is .047, with proper weight distribution/tire/gear, a grp12 motor can go mid .7's with one.

The current chassis with the steel motor box and nosepiece sure make cars easy to build however.

Don't know where you were, but this is what I was runnin' 20 years ago... & this chassis still kicks butt today. The peice you are showing looks more like 30 years ago, except for the gear...

Speaking of old builds, I bought this one used in late '90, no front wheels, no body mounts. Still going strong today, Plumber style chassis w/floating pans; old S16-D, .980 1000', 12.40 1/4 mi. still 1/8 axle & 48 pitch gears... If it ain't broke, why fix it...
